I'm surprised the "original" 2008 SRT8 didn't make the list.  Got the ball rolling for this whole Hellcat thing.  I had one in Hemi Orange and the SLP 475 HP package.  One of my favorite sounding cars of all time.  Full throttle exhaust sounds were heavenly and have to be experienced in person.   ...

Interesting to me that we're having this convo on performance SUV's.  Sport Utility Vehicles...or in the case of BMW SAV...whatever.  We are witnessing the shift of what the world considers a performance vehicle.  I guess I'm too old to think of that being a 2 door coupe with a V8, rear wheel drive, and manual xmission.  I'm feeling very old at the moment.   ...

Great article.  Good cap to my Friday!  I've done the Dragon several times.  Two ends of the spectrum, once in a Challenger SRT8 and then in an NA Miata.  I have to admit that I preferred that NA on the Dragon.  I preferred the SRT8 on the drive to and from.   ... View more

SteveNL, thank you for your Ebay comments.  I've not had much experience there, but will be wary in the future because of you.  I guess you always need to..."follow the money".   ... View more

Rob, no need to put an apology in the first part of your article.  Anyone who has crested 60 years of age and is still doing what you're doing deserves some grace.  Thanks for this very interesting article and what you do.  While many of us can sit here in our Coronavirus tinged places and shoot opinions over the interweb, you just get er done.  Thank you for your thoughtful words and intriguing storyline.   ...

Epic article.  Very well done and completely agree to the concept.  Mid-90's really were a sweet spot in the analog experience.  I know it's hard to pick just 4, but think I would have chosen the same vintage BMW M3 instead of the VW or Jag.  Just sayin'.   ... View more

C'mon guys.  No NA Miata?  Only pop ups.   ... View more

The more time I spend on the roads out here around Denver, the more I feel the need for something like this from a defensive point of view.  A lot of guys out here into the "mine's bigger than yours" vibe.  Guess this fits that bill! ... View more

My second car, behind a '68 Mustang Coupe, was a 1973 2600 Capri in a medium green color.  It was a blast to drive around in high school.  In fact, rummaging through some old photos the other day I came across a picture of it.  Brought back a flood of memories.  This car is well done!!! ...

My son caught the car bug from me at an early age.  We started out with muscle cars, mainly Mustangs.  In fact, an '83 GT with a 5 speed was the enticement to make better grades.  He brought home straight A's in high school to have that car.     Anyway, now that he's grown with his own family, we share a love of Miata's.  I've had 4 now and sold a 2004 MSM to him that he's tastefully modified.  We work on it together, when he lets me, and we go on drives often together.  His mechanical abilities have far surpassed mine.  But the father/son thing is strong built on cars and trust.   ...

Don't think I could stand to drive a car like this only 100 miles in 5 years.   ... View more
